This official feed from the Google Workspace team provides essential information about new features and improvements for Google Workspace customers.


When auto-provisioning is enabled for a supported third-party application, any users created, modified, or deleted in G Suite are automatically added, edited, or deleted in the third-party application as well. This feature is highly popular with admins, as it removes the overhead of managing users across multiple third-party SaaS applications.

We’ve heard continued positive feedback from admins, so we’re adding auto-provisioning support for six new applications:
  • DeskPro 
  • Federated Directory
  • Front App
  • ScreenSteps
  • ThousandEyes
  • Trello

Customers subscribed to G Suite Education, G Suite Business, and G Suite Enterprise editions can enable user auto-provisioning in all supported applications. Customers on G Suite Basic, G Suite Government, and G Suite Nonprofit can configure auto-provisioning for up to three applications from the supported list. For more information on how to set up auto-provisioning, check out the Help Center.

Last year, we introduced a new resource for admins: What’s new in G Suite? Don’t forget to visit the page regularly for a list of the most recent launches across G Suite.

Feedback? Let us know.

To control the flow of information across their organizations, G Suite admins often need increased visibility into the new Google Sites being created by their users. For instance, they may notice outdated information on a site and need to contact the owner to ensure that it's updated. Or they may see duplicative content on two sites and need to resolve the redundancies with those sites' owners. To help admins do this, we’re adding a feature in the new Google Sites that will make it easier for an admin to get additional information about individual sites.

See the owner of a site and request edit access 

When browsing a site in their domain, admins with appropriate permissions will see a “Site details” button in the footer of the site. When they click this footer, they’ll see:
  • The site owner’s email address 
  • The date the site was last published 
  • An option to “Request edit access” 



Required admin permissions 

Super admins and any other admins with the “View details of new Google Sites” privilege will be able to see the site details link in a site’s footer.

Note that this feature does not automatically give G Suite admins the ability to edit Google Sites. They’ll still need to contact the site’s owner and request permission to directly edit.

We’re updating the User lists interface in the Admin console to make it easier to see, find, and manage users. These user list improvements build on the improvements to the user details experience we recently announced.

Find users with improved search and new filters

The new user list view lets you view users in all or some organizational units (OUs), search for and filter users, and take actions on specific users. You can:


  • Find users with filters: You can now filter by admin role, job title, department, user status, and more.
  • Download or export filtered lists: Once you filter, you can download a list of users with those filters applied.
  • Improved search: Find users quickly using powerful new search features, including the ability to search within specific OUs and by user attributes.
  • Customize your view: Customize the columns displayed in the table to see all the info you need in a single view.


Learn more about filtering and searching here.

Take quick actions on users directly from the list

  • Change individual user info: Hover over a user to take quick actions including reset password, rename user, suspend, delete, or restore user account, change organizational unit, and more.
  • Update multiple users with bulk actions: Quickly edit info for multiple users with bulk actions such as add to group, email users, delete accounts, and more.

Easily manage organizational units


There’s a new section dedicated to simpler management of organizational units. Here, you can easily create, move, and manage organizational units.
